It has been quite a while since I have posted but life has been quite chaotic of late so here goes...and while I will rarely use this forum to rant, and I do hate to have my first posting in such a long time BE a rant...I just can't keep quiet on this one little thing that has been nagging me for so very long. The above sandal is evidence of my slight irritation. While I love this sandal for it's elegant simplicity and of course I love Rachel Zoe therefore I love glitter and sequins...this lovely item is not worth $98. (for a pair) Has anyone who works at JCrew ever actually WORN their shoes? Not comfy. I have a pair of their gold capri sandals from many years ago and although I love them, they are so not comfortable not to mention that you can kill yourself because they are so slick on the bottom. Don't get me wrong, I love everything JCrew is doing right now. Their styling is impeccable and they manage to make this sort of boho, messy, combining everything in your closet look incredibly chic and polished. I am fascinated by it yet I am not buying what they are selling. Why? It is too darn expensive. All of it. Most often their sale items are even overpriced. And a note to all of those Michelle Obama lovers out there, not only do I care what she is wearing, but JCrew is not low end to all the everyday Americans she is wearing it in front of. In the fashion industry, yes. In the real world, not so much. (photo courtesy of polyvore)
